Dear all,

Is ConTeXt able of typesetting text in Insular Gaelic (Irish/Scottish)?

As I see, LaTeX, with the babel package, renders Gaelic in Latin typography (with diacritical marks).

But there are two fonts that do the job (apart from babel and which are in utf8 standards);

one is commercial and the other seems to do the job (see attached file).

Thank you!

I posted the example to https://fosstodon.org/@context/115848510984504421 as an answer to the post from where I got the blog link.

The rendering looks much better than JP’s example – I don’t know if that’s really made with LaTeX as the PDF only says it’s converted with GhostScript. The hinting(?) is strange – some characters are somewhat blurry, others a bit pixely.
